I was wondering if this is a break of a verbal contract. I was working a part time job, then was offered a position for a friend of mine as a live in nanny. She and I had a verbal agreement that I was going to move in with her so I was there to watch her new born baby for when she went to work on call for a medical agency. After she and I moved into the house she never went back to work. It was the agreement that she didn't charge me rent until she started working. To make a long story short, she never went back to work, and now she is threatening me by saying she is going to take me to small claims court for back rent owed. I ended up moving out, getting my other job back because I felt she went back on our original agreement. Is this a form of break of verbal contract? If she takes me to court, is there a way that I can counter sue for lost of wages? If she does take me to court I was just wanting to know where I stand.
